Noel Redding and friends — Live from Bunkr, Prague
✹ Live from Bunkr — Prague je jediné koncertní album americké rockové superskupiny Noel Redding and Friends. Bylo nahrané v roce 1995 a vydané až po smrti Noel Reddinga v roce 2003. První vydání vyšlo v roce 1996 a teprve po smrti Noel Reddinga vyšla v USA reedice. Nebyla to kapela, ale volné seskupení hudebníků, kteří se sešli, aby zahráli k čtvrtému výročí klubu Bunkru. Vystoupení navštívil také tehdejší prezident Václav Havel. Obálku navrhl pražský výtvarník Joska Skalník, proto je na americkém vydání jiná obálka.

AllMusic Review by Stewart Mason
♠≡ It’s the final indignity of Noel Redding’s life that even the posthumous cash~in records bearing his name have no interest in Redding’s career after his brief stint in the Jimi Hendrix Experience. There are no Fat Mattress songs on Live from Bunk R — Prague, just a handful of heavy~rock covers — John Lennon’s „Cold Turkey,“ Mountain’s „Silver Paper,“ and those perennials „Hey Joe“ and „Wild Thing“ — along with half a dozen of the most familiar Hendrix tunes. Redding’s semi~heavy friends include former Patti Smith guitarist Ivan Kral and ex~Scandal drummer Frankie la Rocka, and together, they turn in entirely competent but thoroughly bloodless knockoffs of Redding’s former employer’s style. It’s frankly all kind of embarrassing, and recommended only to vampires.
